After exploring the Byzantine Art and the Roman Art it seems to me that Byzantine artist were more focus on sending a message to the people rather than focusing on the detail and perfection of their art. They wanted to tell us the people about their gods and icons example would be that Virgin with the son angles and icons, and about Christianity and why people should practice this religion. As for the Roman art was more focus displaying the perfection and realism of art as a whole for example is shows in the buildings of their temples and other buildings.
